Thanks for the tips.
Another question: my PC would be almost exactly aboe my PS3 (one floor up), so when a wireless router states indoors it's good for 100m, does the siglan go through the walls or does it go via the open spaces of the house, ie through the living room, up the stairs, down hallway etc?
What type of wireless router should i look for for best results?
Difficult to say as there are so many parameters. I use a Netgear 834GT but the best would be to get one of the newer types with two antennas
and turbo modes.
